Confined Space Training

Who is the Confined Spaces Course for?

Working in confined spaces exposes an individual to a range of potential hazards, some of which may threaten injury and, in some instances may possibly lead to death. Therefore specialist training and assessment is required to equip those undertaking this type of work with the necessary skills and competences to assess risk and control hazards to work safely.

This course is about entering and working in a low risk environment with adequate natural or mechanical venitlation. The access appears simple and unobstructed and there is no likely risk of flooding for example from meter pits, valve chambers or stairwells.
